Clare:       MP Reveals Movement To Call For Early Elections: Ending The Parliament That Offers Nothing To The People.

Independent MP Mohammed Al-Ziyadi revealed on Thursday that there is a desire to submit a request to the presidency of the House of Representatives to hold early elections & end the work of the current House of Representatives, indicating that the parliament was unable to legislate important disputed laws. 

 

Al-Ziyadi told Shafaq News Agency, "The House of Representatives, during the period of extending the legislative term, was unable to legislate important & disputed laws," stressing that "the heads of the political blocs were unable to manage the sessions." 

 

Al-Ziyadi continued: “If the legislative role of the House of Representatives continues to be disrupted after the holiday & in the next legislative session, we will collect signatures to demand early elections & the end of this council, which is no longer able to provide services to the citizen or the country.”

 

He explained, saying: “After the legislative holiday and in the next legislative session, we will submit a request to the Council Presidency to hold early elections for the House of Representatives by amending the elections law & setting a date for holding legislative elections in the country.”

 

The Iraqi Council of Representatives failed to hold its 20th regular session on Sunday, December 8, to vote on proposed laws, Personal Status Law No. 188 of 1959, the return of properties to their owners covered by some decisions of the dissolved Revolutionary Command Council & the 2nd amendment to the General Amnesty Law No. 27 of 2016.

 

Although the House of Representatives extended its legislative session for 30 days on November 7th to pass pending laws, the House was also unable to pass these controversial laws during the extension period & thus they were postponed until the new legislative session.

 

The House of Representatives entered a legislative session recess after extending it for 30 days based on Article 58 of the Iraqi Constitution. Consequently, that period has ended & it has become obligatory to enter a recess from December 9 of this year to January 9, 2025, according to political researcher Saif Al-Saadi.   

 

Clare:       Blinken Arrives In Jordan On Middle East Tour To Discuss The Syrian Crisis.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken arrived in Jordan on Thursday, starting a tour to discuss the crisis in Syria after the overthrow of Syrian regime President Bashar al-Assad.

 

US officials told reporters accompanying him that the outgoing Blinken will meet with Jordan's King Abdullah II & his foreign minister in the Red Sea city of Aqaba (about 325 kilometers south of Amman) as part of his efforts to have an "inclusive" process to select members of the next Syrian government.

 

Upon his arrival, Blinken headed to the meeting & is scheduled to travel to Türkiye later today.

 

Blinken called for an "inclusive" process to form the next Syrian government that includes protecting minorities after opposition factions led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham ended the rule of Bashar al-Assad, who belongs to the Alawite sect, which constitutes a minority in Syria.

 

The US State Department said in announcing Blinken's tour that he would call for an authority in Syria that does not provide "a base for terrorism or pose a threat to its neighbors," in reference to concerns expressed by both Turkey & Israel, which has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in the neighboring country in recent days.

 

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said that during the discussions in Aqaba on the Red Sea, "Blinken will reiterate U.S. support for an inclusive transition to accountable and representative government."

 

It will also discuss "the need to respect the rights of minorities, facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid, prevent Syria from becoming a base for terrorism or a threat to its neighbors & ensure that chemical weapons stockpiles are secured & safely destroyed."

 

This is Blinken's twelfth visit to the Middle East since October 7, 2023, and the Hamas attack on Israel, which responded with a violent & destructive campaign that is still ongoing in the Gaza Strip.

 

Blinken's previous trip ended in disappointment after he failed to secure a deal in which Israel & Hamas would end the war in exchange for the release of hostages held in Gaza.

 

Blinken will leave office on January 20 with the administration of President Joe Biden.

 

President-elect Donald Trump has described the situation in Syria as a "chaos" & said the US should not intervene, although he has not clarified U.S. policy since Assad's fall.
